False Pretenses.

Last fall a young man named Bernard
Levy appeared in this city, and, ANNOUNCE
ing himself as representing San Francisco
shirt house, solicited orders for shirts, and
received quite number Frem his pa
irons he obtained, in taking their order,
one-half the price of the articles to be fur
nished. When he finally went away he
left one Of the principal hotels holding
against him an unpaid bill to the amount
of $50 for the board of himself and family.
As time passed, and the shirts ordered and
partly paid for did not appear, Mr.. Levy's
customers began to kick, which relieved
their minds little, but did not benefit
them otherwise. Among those defrauded
was Jules P. Cola, who, in course of time,
swore to complaint in Justice Posts
Court, accusing Levy of obtaining money
under false pretenses. The warrant was
sent to San Francisco, and on Leyy's APP
pearance there a few days ago, on his re-
turn from the lower country, he was ar
rested. Deputy Constable Swift went to
the bay yesterday to bring him to Sacra-
mentO.

The report of the Steward of the Howard
Benevolent Association for the month of
February shows % men, 81 women and 11S

sisted bv the granting of 935 dispensations,
at a total expense of 1922. The total in
come of the Association was S2S7 80, MAX
ing deficiency of $134 65. As the Asso-
citation has been running behind for the

ard to solicit an additional appropriation
from the Board of Supervisors. The Asso-
citation has expended S499 % IN excess Of
their income since October 1st, and unless
additional funds can be had from some
other source, the Association will be COM
PEELED to lessen its dispensations TO CORE
spond with its income, and many worthy
and deserving poor will suffer for the neces-
saries of life.

Asphodel roots rank with acorns as n
prehistoric, but now discarded article of
human food. They were, it is likely,
freely consumed by the earliest inhabi-
tants OF Greece, before he cultivation
of cereals had been introduced from tho
east There is little fear of error in as
Stunning that tho later Achaian immi-
grants found them already cbnsecrated
by traditional usage to the sustenance of
the dead. Perhaps because the inn
memorial antiquity of their diet
airy employment impaired to them
an idea of sacredness; or, pos
sibly, because the slightness
of the nourishment they afforded was
Judged suitable to the maintenance of
the unsubstantial life of ghosts. At any
rate, the custom became firmly es-
tablished of planting graves with aspho-
del, with view to making provision
for their silent and helpless, yet still
needy inmates. With changed associa-
tons the custom still exists in Greece.
and, very remarkably, has been found to
prevail in Japan, where a species Of
asphodel is stated TO be cultivated in
cemeteries, and placed, blooming in pots,
on gravcstoncs. We can scarcely doubt
that the same train OF thought
here as in Greece originally prompted
its selection for sepulchral. uses. I'm
questionably some of the natives of tho
Congo district plant manioc on the
graves of their dead with no other than
a provisioning design The same may
be said of the cultivation of certain
fruit trees in the burial grounds of tho
South Sea Islanders. One Of these bears
an insipid but oatable fruit, and is held
sacred in Otaheite under the name of

bamboo.

In whatever nature may have been
sparing as regards natural resources in
this country. she has evidently compen-
stated for by bcstowiug it upon the BAN
boo plant. There are no less than fifty
varieties of the bamboo, the growth OF
which is favored by certain localities,
and each is possessed Of some special
quality adapting it to the manufacture
of useful articles For instance, the sui
chuck (water bamboo), growing In
swamps AMI ponds is very tall straight
and light, and it Is largely employed in
the framework of sails, and in the man
ufacture of cheap baskets, joss sticks,
etc. The young and tender shoots of
this variety arc also used for food. The
tai chuck, which grows to a
great height, furnishes poles used in the
propelling of boats through narrow
canals or shallow waters. In crowded
river like the Canton, where it is often
impossible to use the oars, the boat is
moved along either by touching the
the river bed with tho long bamboo or
by hooking on TO the other craft. A
long and fl,xible variety called n'gon
chuck makes the best boat hooks
which, In the larger coolic ports, like
Swallow and Annoy, are employed in
novel method of boarding steamers.
When a coolie steamer from the south
arrives, several hundred sampans will
rush alongside, and the occupants,
hooking on to the gunwale or rail-
ing, grasp the slender bamboo with
the hands, and, with feet against the
side of the vessel, they Chamber on
board the biggest iron steamers with the
agility of monkeys. In fact these
sampan people, in their haste to solicit
the patronage of their returned brethren,
scorn a gangway ladder when bamboo
boat hook is convenient. Mai chuck
carrying pole bamboo) is of extreme
toughness, and with these poles all mer-
chandise and movable property on land
are transferred from one point to
another on the shoulders of coolies.
The pan chuck is used in making chop
sticks, fat too chuck for walking canes,
guam yum chuck for pens, while other
species, even including the thorny and
dwariish lac chuck, growing on rocky
hills, have such variety of purposes
that large volume might be filled with
their description. One kind is made
into ropes and rigging for junks, or is
woven into hats, mats and sails, while
the long leaves of another are made into
picturesque looking coolie rain coats.
